Life of David-Fugitive Years Wk 20

Darkness in David’s Life           1 Samuel 27:1-12 
•         David Was Raised to A High Position of Regard (Prov. 16:32)
•         The Moment That Faith Wins a Great Victory, Danger is Near
•         David’s Life is No Different Than Ours-Opposites Exist at the Same Time (2 Cor 6:9-10)
•         God is in the Refining Business
•         And David said in his heart-Humanistic Viewpoint (2 Cor 1:8-9)
•         David Did Not Have the Benefit of an Elijah Type Miracle
•         There is No Indication in the Chapter of David Praying
•         I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul-Pessimistic Reasoning
•         David Ignored All the Promises of God Concerning Himself
•         Nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape-Rationalization
•         Why Leave Israel?
•         Saul Knew of All David’s Hiding Places By Now
•         The Constant Moving Was Hard on the Men & Now Families
•         Food Hard to Find for Such A Large Group
•         This Action Was:
•         Dishonoring to God
•         God Had Sworn to Make David King
•         How Impossible for God to Lie or Forget His Covenant (Matt 5:18)
•         Highly Injurious
•         The Philistine Culture Was Filled With Idol Temples & Priests
•         What Fellowship or Worship Could David Have There? (Ps 137:4)
•         What About the Peril to the Families He Brought With Him
•         First Consequence of the Move
•         Saul sought no more again for him-A False Sense of Security
•         Second Consequence of the Move
•         Found grace in thine eyes-Submission to the Adversaries Cause
•         Dwell in the royal city with thee?-Proximity Caused Constant Inspection
•         Third Consequence of the Move
•         David dwelt…a full year and four months-Lengthy Period of Compromise
•         Living a Lie
•         David Continues to Fight the Traditional Enemies of Israel
•         Some of Whom Were Allies to the Philistines
•         And left neither man nor woman alive-The Only Way to Keep This From King Achish
•         Against the south of Judah-A Lie, These Were Not Judean Tribes
•         Achish believed David-Because David did Not Bring Back Slaves Which Are the Most Prized Possessions
•         How Could David Justify All This Killing?
•         David Lived in Ziklag; Outside the Nation of Israel
•         Ziklag Had Been Given to the Tribe of Simeon 350 Years Before by God
•         Moses Was Told to Exterminate Them for Their Wickedness
•         Simeon Disobeyed
•         David Was Carrying Out the Orders Simeon Failed to Do
•         Living By the Sword & Lying, Only Exchanged One Fear For Another
